Michael really couldn't sleep, he went to get a kuoga and he changed his clothes. kwa 5:00 a.m. he was walking to the park. He knew Ashley wasn't going to be there cause he took her nyumbani last night and she was fast asleep. He then thought about his brother Jermaine. "How dare Jermaine fall for my girl like that" Michael alisema to himself. He had been Lost in his thoughts for over an saa until he decided to go back home.

Meanwhile, Ashley had just awaken at 7:00 a.m. in the morning. She knew it was going to be a sad siku because today was her father's funeral. Before heading downstairs, she turned on the TV in her room and watched the news on Michael's tour. "We are here today in the studio where Michael Jackson would've performed his concert" the anchorwoman said. "Would have?" Ashley alisema puzzled. "We have news that Michael Jackson has canceled his tamasha for a very important appointment at about 10:00 a.m." the anchorwoman reported. "10:00 a.m. is the time of my Dad's burial. Guess he really can't come" Ashley alisema with disappointment. Just then, Ashley's mother came rushing in Ashley's room. "Oh you're awake dear" Ashley's mother said. "Yes I am mom" Ashley replied. "Go downstairs and eat your breakfast. Then go take a bath and... just go get ready" Ashley's mother said. "Yes mom" Ashley replied. Ashley went downstairs and ate some breakfast. Then her mother gave her a news that almost got Ashley choking on her food. "Oh kwa the way sweetie, your friend Michael called. He alisema he's gong to be at the funeral today" Ashley's mother said. "He's what now?!" Ashley alisema shocked. So that's why he cancelled his concert. So he can come to the funeral. Oh my God the mashabiki are going to kill me. "Mom is the number of Michael's phone there?" Ashley alisema nervously. "Yes" Ashley's mother replied. Ashley ran to the phone and dialed the number. At the first ring, the phone was answered. And it was Michael. "Hello?" Michael asked. "Michael, why?" Ashley said. "Why what?" Michael replied confused. "Why would wewe cancel your tamasha for my dad's funeral?" Ashley said. "Because... because" Michael alisema unable to answer. "Because what?" Ashley asked. "Listen can I talk to wewe privately? I know your mom's there in the kitchen.

"Okay Michael, I'm alone now speak" Ashley alisema unable to control her patience anymore. "Because... because" Michael alisema once again unable to say the words. "Because what Michael" Ashley said. Then suddenly, Michael couldn't control his feelings any longer. He had to tell her. Otherwise Jermaine will snatch her away from him. "Because I upendo wewe Ashley" Michael alisema finally relieved. "You really mean that Michael?" Ashley alisema with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Yes sweetheart. I don't say things that I don't mean.
